First Daylily Seed Batch Started
Posted on Dec 22, 2009 by DaMan
Last night I started the first batch of daylily seeds. This is my third year and I expect it to be my most successful. The following simply strategy seems to work best for me:
1. Collect daylily seeds through the summer and allow to dry (I do this by placing them in ziplock bags that I leave propped open for a month or so, in my office)
2. Place the dry daylily seeds in a storage baggie and label (parents of the hybrid)
3. Around Thanksgiving, place all of the daylily seeds into the frig in a tight ziplock bag. Each baggie should have a couple of drops of water placed into them.
4. Around Christmas, start to plant them in the biodomes provided by Park Seed (or something similar).
5. Place the trays in a window that receives some sun during the day.
6. 7 to 10 days later, they should start sprouting.
I'll check back in after Christmas with the results.
